Title: Pathhead Feuars Cemetery Kirkcaldy Headstone Inscriptions
Post by: NorrieG on Monday 25 February 08 15:04 GMT (UK)
Pathhead Feuars Cemetery is located on a small piece of Walled Ground
Approx half an acre, Between the  Kirkcaldy and the Pathhead  Areas

Small but has been in use from the early 1700s to the early 1900s
And there has taken place over 10,000 burials in an area half the size of a Football pitch.

The inscriptions  date from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s
And are of headstones still standing , and  readable, pictures are available

I will post in 4 Parts, they are in aphetically order by male Surname
with his spouses name which makes it easier to see if this the family you are researching.

Title: Re: Pathhead Feuars Cemetery Kirkcaldy Headstone Inscriptions
Post by: mcjames on Wednesday 01 August 12 08:11 BST (UK)
From various places on the web, I have found two listings from the post-1848 Pathhead Feuars directory:

TODD, CATHERINE: relict of late James Beveridge, tailor and clothier, P; 23 Nov 1865 (59 yrs); in Lot 38
TOD, WILLIAM: Sgt pensioner, father-in-law of James Beveridge, tailor, P; Nov 21 1851 (91 yrs)

Could anyone please give me the corresponding listing for James Beveridge, tailor (d 1859)? He is buried in the same plot with his wife, father-in-law William Todd, and daughters Jean (d 1848) and Catherine (d 1849), who both died young. Also, is there any mention of William Tod's wife? I have seen speculation that she might have been Sarah Struthers, but have no confirmation. I cannot find an applicable listing in the pre-1848 directory (which is available on the web).

This cemetery seems like it may hold a lot of family secrets. Some of the children of James and Catherine have middle names of Stoddard, Jamieson, and Christie, all family names found in this same cemetery. I have to wonder if the families are not interrelated...

Thanks for any help!

Hi Deb sorry to here you lost information when your Computer failed

It was not a headstone, sorry I should have specified.  It was just some old headstones in Pathead by a wall, because Robert was buried with someone else.
